Attorney–client privilege.

MyCaseCare puts the principles of attorney-client privilege at the heart of your client workflow—with your firm’s instruction, authorized legal-team access, and an explicit purpose of legal advice.

THE LEGAL PRINCIPLES

The foundations of privilege.

ABA Model Rule 1.6 requires reasonable efforts to protect client information from unauthorized access or disclosure. Alongside that confidentiality duty, privileged legal communications rest on three foundations: the client–counsel relationship, a confidential exchange, and legal advice.

01 / THE RELATIONSHIP

Client and Counsel

A legal relationship comes first.

The attorney–client relationship gives the communication its legal context. Your firm acts as counsel, and your client shares information with you in that professional capacity.

In MCC, attorney-directed reporting keeps that relationship at the center of the exchange: the client is communicating with your firm about the case you are handling.

02 / CONFIDENTIALITY

Shared in Confidence

Confidentiality is a shared expectation.

Privileged communications are intended to stay confidential. Your client must understand that they are reporting to counsel in confidence, and your firm must handle those exchanges consistently with that expectation.

MCC frames client reporting as a private exchange for your legal team, supporting candid communication within the legal relationship.

Acme Law's invitation email to its client: Record your pain and symptoms, appointments and treatment, expenses, relevant documents, and other case updates privately for our legal team. Our firm requests these updates as confidential communications to help us provide you with legal advice and prepare your case.
INVITATION EMAIL Your request, expressly for legal advice.

03 / THE LEGAL PURPOSE

The purpose of the exchange matters.

Privilege protects communications made to seek or provide legal advice. That includes information your client gives you so you can understand their circumstances and advise them on the case.

MCC’s attorney-directed updates carry that express purpose: helping your firm provide legal advice and prepare the case.

PRIVILEGE, CONFIDENTIALITY & YOUR FIRM

Security & Access FAQs

How does attorney–client privilege work in MCC?

Privilege protects confidential communications between your firm and its clients for legal advice. MCC makes that purpose explicit in your invitation and client reporting. The attorney–client relationship, confidentiality, and legal purpose form the foundation of the protection.

Who can invite a client to MyCaseCare?

You or authorized members of your firm send the invitation. Your firm establishes representation and handles its retainer process. Clients with an existing MCC account accept your invitation before their history is shared with your firm.

Who can see the data clients enter?

Your clients and authorized members of your firm access case information according to their permissions. Listing a doctor or insurer in a case does not grant them account access. Firm access follows the client relationship established in MCC.

MCC and its service providers process information to operate the service. Connected integrations and authorized sharing may also transfer records. See our Privacy Policy.
